Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 80 /100

Critical reception for Daredevil: Born Again has been largely positive, with reviewers praising the revival for successfully capturing the gritty tone, dark spirit, and intense action that made the original Netflix series popular. Outlets highlighted strong performances from Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio, describing the show as a character-driven continuation featuring impressive set pieces and grounded storytelling.

While the majority of critics celebrated its return, some noted that the series can feel slightly uneven or overly familiar at times. A few reviewers pointed out changes in pacing or setting—such as more daytime scenes—and felt the darker superhero tropes have grown somewhat tired over the last decade. However, consensus remains that it is a solid, ambitious, and crowd-pleasing addition to Marvel's television lineup.

“a brilliantly detailed continuation, centering on a gutted Matt Murdock (Cox), whose newfound rage threatens to consume him”

“the excellent acting and bravura set pieces make it a crowd-pleasing watch”

“uneven, but the ambitious nine-part series lands plenty of punches”

“does a mostly solid job of capturing what made the original 2015-2018 Daredevil series on Netflix so good.”

Why fans love it

Daredevil: Born Again operates as a direct sequel to prior encounters between Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk. The adaptation centers on the friction between two rigid archetypes: a blind attorney working within the legal system and a former mob boss attempting to reshape New York through a mayoral run. Charlie Cox returns as the lead, balancing the precision required of a blind superhero with the practical demands of practicing law.

The series avoids the polished sheen common to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in favor of a blunt, street-level approach to crime and punishment. By grounding the conflict in shifting political ambitions and long-held grudges, the show creates a sense of inevitability that moves beyond traditional comic book tropes. It is a calculated study of how former enemies maintain their alignment as they move toward an unavoidable collision.
